Performance Functions and Effects

The Bender/Modulation lever located at the left of the keyboard can
be used to apply two types of effect to the sound you’re playing in
Keyboard mode.

Pitch Bend

is an effect that lowers the pitch of the sound you’re

playing when you move the lever toward the left, or raises it
when you move the lever toward the right.

Modulation

is an effect that applies vibrato to the sound you’re

playing when you push the lever away from yourself.

If the MFX type is

ROTARY

, this will switch the rotational

speed instead of Modulation.

If you press the lever away from yourself while moving it to left or
right, both effects will be applied at the same time.

You can adjust the range of the pitch change. For details, refer to
“P.Bend Range” (p. 25)

You can connect a separately available foot switch (Boss FS-5U) or a
separately available expression pedal (Roland EV-5) to the

CONTROL PEDAL

jack on the rear panel.

You can assign a variety of functions to this pedal. For details,
refer to “Pedal” (p. 25).

By selecting a preset performance, you can quickly recall settings
that are appropriate for the song you’re playing.

items will be recalled.
